Hidden Lake Academy

Hidden Lake Academy (HLA) was a therapeutic boarding school in Dahlonega, Georgia. It is now shut down.

History

The school was founded in 1994 by Dr. Leonard Buccelatto. It was intended to "fill the need for a specialty school to fill the gap between services of residential treatment centers and traditional boarding schools."

Program

New students typically had struggled with homework, depression, anger management, or various addictions. Some students were from outside the United States. The student population often ranged from about 15 to 200 students. Hidden Lake Academy was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS), and the Georgia Accreditation Commission (GAC).

The staff recommended that most of the students attend small colleges or boarding schools, although a few attended larger universities or went back to ordinary high schools against the school's recommendations.

Books were screened, students were not allowed to possess any literature which contains sex or drug references/pictures. Magazines, newspapers, and journals were also screened, and any inappropriate articles were cut out to allow the student to have reading material without negative influences. Incoming and outgoing mail was no longer screened by staff; but some letters were not permitted if they were from friends. They did not always let students know when they receive them.

Hidden Lake (Alberta)

Hidden Lake is a small glacial lake in the Skoki Valley of Banff National Park, Canada. It is located in the Slate Range of the Canadian Rockies.

The lake can be reached by following a hiking trail for 8.4 km (5.2 mi) starting at Fish Creek, at the base of the Lake Louise Ski Area, near Lake Louise. A backcountry campground is situated one km before reaching the lake. The lake is the starting point for possible ascents of Mount Richardson, Pika Peak and Ptarmigan Peak.

The glacial waters of the lake are drained by Corral Creek through the Sikoki Valley into the Bow River.
